Cuisine: Asian
Serves: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 lb. ground pork
- 1 bag coleslaw mix
- 1/4 cup soy sauce
- 1 tbsp sesame oil
- 1 tbsp ginger, minced

- Prepare all ingredients by mincing garlic and ginger, measuring soy sauce and sesame oil, and having coleslaw mix ready.

- Once cooking completes, do a quick release of pressure.

- Transfer to serving dishes and garnish with chopped green onions and sesame seeds.
- Serve hot and enjoy your Egg Roll in a Bowl directly from the Instant Pot.
Tips
- Prep Ahead: To save time, you can prepare your ingredients in advance. Mince the garlic and ginger, and measure out the soy sauce and sesame oil before you start cooking.
- Use Fresh Ingredients: For the best flavor, opt for fresh ginger and garlic. They add a vibrant taste that can elevate your dish.
- Don’t Skip the Sauté: Browning the pork in the Instant Pot’s “Sauté” mode adds depth to the flavor. Make sure to break it up well for even cooking.
- Adjust the Crunch: If you prefer a crunchier texture, reduce the cooking time slightly or add the coleslaw mix just before the pressure cooking step.
- Customize Your Bowl: Feel free to add other vegetables like bell peppers or snap peas for extra color and nutrition.
- Garnish Generously: Don’t forget the green onions and sesame seeds! They add a beautiful finish and enhance the overall flavor of the dish.
- Serve Immediately: This dish is best enjoyed fresh out of the Instant Pot while the flavors are vibrant and the vegetables are still crisp.
